    Abstract: ... and identity impairment resulting from high glucose exposure. In China, Coptis deltoidea C. Y. Cheng ...

    Abstract Background: Abnormalities in glucose metabolism may be the underlying cause of β-cell dysfunction and identity impairment resulting from high glucose exposure. In China, Coptis deltoidea C. Y. Cheng et Hsiao (YL) has demonstrated remarkable hypoglycemic effects.
    Hypothesis/purpose: To investigate the hypoglycemic effect of YL and determine the mechanism of YL in treating diabetes.
    Methods: A type 2 diabetes mouse model was used to investigate the pharmacodynamics of YL. YL was administrated once daily for 8 weeks. The hypoglycemic effect of YL was assessed by fasting blood glucose, an oral glucose tolerance test, insulin levels, and other indexes. The underlying mechanism of YL was examined by targeting glucose metabolomics, western blotting, and qRT-PCR. Subsequently, the binding capacity between predicted AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and important components of YL (Cop, Ber, and Epi) were validated by molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance. Then, in AMPK knockdown MIN6 cells, the mechanisms of Cop, Ber, and Epi were inversely confirmed through evaluations encompassing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, markers indicative of β-cell identity, and the examination of glycolytic genes and products.
    Results: YL (0.9 g/kg) treatment exerted notable hypoglycemic effects and protected the structural integrity and identity of pancreatic β-cells. Metabolomic analysis revealed that YL inhibited the hyperactivated glycolysis pathway in diabetic mice, thereby regulating the products of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. KEGG enrichment revealed the intimate relationship of this process with the AMPK signaling pathway. Cop, Ber, and Epi in YL displayed high binding affinities for AMPK protein. These compounds played a pivotal role in preserving the identity of pancreatic β-cells and amplifying insulin secretion. The mechanism underlying this process involved inhibition of glucose uptake, lowering intracellular lactate levels, and elevating acetyl coenzyme A and ATP levels through AMPK signaling. The use of a glycolytic inhibitor corroborated that attenuation of glycolysis restored β-cell identity and function.
    Conclusion: YL demonstrates significant hypoglycemic efficacy. We elucidated the potential mechanisms underlying the protective effects of YL and its active constituents on β-cell function and identity by observing glucose metabolism processes in pancreatic tissue and cells. In this intricate process, AMPK plays a pivotal regulatory role.

    Abstract: ... the effects of Modified Xiao-Cheng-Qi decoction (MXD) on inflammatory response and GI function ...

    Abstract Background: In the perioperative period of biliary surgery, various factors can induce the release of a large number of inflammatory factors, leading to an imbalance in pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses and resulting in gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols in biliary surgery have been shown to reduce the stress response and accelerate postoperative recovery. It is crucial to reduce the inflammatory response and promote the recovery of GI function after biliary surgery, both of which are the basis and key for perioperative care and postoperative recovery.
    Aim: To better understand the effects of Modified Xiao-Cheng-Qi decoction (MXD) on inflammatory response and GI function in the perioperative management of cholelithiasis and their correlation.
    Methods: This was a prospective randomized placebo-controlled trial, in which 162 patients who received biliary tract surgery were randomly assigned to three groups: MXD group, XD group, and placebo-control group. The observed parameters included frequency of bowel sounds, time of first flatus and defecation, time of diet, and amount of activity after surgery. The serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, serum amyloid A protein (SAA), and substance P were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Then, the spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between the indicators of GI function and inflammation.
    Results: Compared to the placebo-control, improvements in GI function were observed in the MXD groups including reduced incidence of nausea, vomiting, and bloating; and earlier first exhaust time, first defecation time, and feeding time after surgery (
    Conclusion: Treatment with MXD can relieve inflammatory response and improve GI function after surgery. Moreover, there are significant correlations between them. Furthermore, it does not cause serious adverse reactions.

    Abstract China's urban economy has developed rapidly over the decades, and the Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration has become one of China's four typical urban agglomerations, with a large population and a high level of economic development. However, the conflict between humans and the environment is becoming increasingly prominent together with economic development. In order to protect the ecological environment in urban areas, thus scientific understanding and assessment of ecological vulnerability are beneficial to establishing regional conservation measures, and serve as a key means to maintain environmental health. Based on the "Sensitivity-Resilience-Pressure" (SRP) model, this study considered remote sensing, geographic and statistical data to construct an evaluation system for regional ecological vulnerability. In addition, the coupled AHP (Analytic hierarchy process)-Entropy weighting model was proposed to obtain the weight of each evaluation indicator and analyze the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of the ecological vulnerability of the study area during 2000-2020. The changes and the divergence pattern were depicted by the transfer matrix, dynamic degree and spatial auto-correlation. The results indicated that the ecological vulnerability of Cheng-Yu urban agglomeration is mainly mild and moderate, with an overall high distribution in Chongqing and Chengdu, while low in the central and north zone (e.g., Ziyang, Mianyang). It is consistent with the distribution of HH (High-High) and L-L (Low-Low) clusters, respectively, having a significant positive spatial correlation. In particular, the severely vulnerable area increased from 7059 km² in 2000 to 23553 km² in 2020, with an increased rate of 233.66 %. Combining the transfer matrix and dynamic degree, it was found that the ecological environment underwent a rapid deterioration followed by a slow recovery. This study provides a scientific reference for the ecological policy making which serves sustainable urban development.

    Abstract Tao-He-Cheng-Qi decoction (THCQ) is an effective traditional Chinese medicine used to treat intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study was performed to investigate the possible neuroprotective effect of THCQ decoction on secondary brain damage in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage and to elucidate the potential mechanism based on a metabolomics approach. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five groups: the sham group, collagenase-induced ICH model group, THCQ low-dose (THCQ-L)-treated group, THCQ moderate-dose (THCQ-M)-treated group and THCQ high-dose (THCQ-H)-treated group. Following 3 days of treatment, behavioral changes and histopathological lesions in the brain were estimated. Untargeted metabolomics analysis with multivariate statistics was performed by using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS). THCQ treatment at two dosages (5.64 and 11.27 g/kg·d) remarkably improved behavior (

    Abstract Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) have beneficial effects on plant health and soil composition. To date, studies of PSB in soil have largely been performed under field or greenhouse conditions. However, less is known about the impact of introducing indigenous PSB in the field, including their effects on the local microbial community. In this study, we conducted greenhouse and field experiments to explore the effects of the addition of indigenous PSB on the growth of Chenmou elm (Ulmus chenmoui) and on the diversity and composition of the bacterial community in the soil. We obtained four bacterial isolates with the highest phosphate-solubilizing activity: UC_1 (Pseudomonas sp.), UC_M (Klebsiella sp.), UC_J (Burkholderia sp.), and UC_3 (Chryseobacterium sp.). Sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform showed that the inoculated PSB did not become the dominant strains in the U. chenmoui rhizosphere. However, the soil bacterial community structure was altered by the addition of these PSB. The relative abundance of Chloroflexi decreased significantly in response to PSB application in all treatment groups, whereas the populations of several bacteria, including Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, increased. Network analysis indicated that Chloroflexi was the most strongly negatively correlated with Proteobacteria, whereas Proteobacteria was strongly positively correlated with Bacteroidetes. Our findings indicate that inoculation with PSB (UC_1, UC_M, UC_J, and UC_3) can improve the growth of U. chenmoui and regulate its rhizosphere microbial community. Therefore, inoculation with these bacterial strains could promote the efficient cultivation and production of high-quality plant materials.
